WILSON, Wyo.  Former Vice President Dick Cheney told Republican fundraisers Thursday night that Mitt Romney is the "only" man who can make the right decisions in unexpected foreign policy crises. The presumptive 2012 Republican presidential nominee called Cheney a "great American leader" -- and didn't mention former President George W. Bush in a 20-minute speech to a country club reception.

Cheney said serving under four presidents taught him that a surprising international crisis is inevitable. "When I think about the kind of individual I want in the Oval Office in that moment of crisis, who has to make those key decisions, some of them life-and-death decisions, some of them decisions as commander-in-chief, who has the responsibility for sending some of our young men and women into harm's way, that man is Mitt Romney," Cheney said to applause.

Where is the barf alert. Seriously, I wonder if he even knows the names of all the leaders of the World. Romney should be replaced by a conservative. Why more FREEPERS and other conservatives aren’t demanding someone else. Whatever happened to picking someone at the convention? Was that all just BS talk and now that Romney is the guy everyone wants (apparently) we will settle for him? This is the worst election ever. Yep worse than 2008.

My drean ticket is Santorum/Bachmann....too bad I am the only a small amount of conservatives in the United States and on Free Republic. Most of Free Republic is made up with “go with the flow” types who vote for whoever they put up for President. Not a great way to live if you ask me. I would HATE to be a follower like most on here.

In 1992 my husband and his entire family voted for Ross Perot. I still remind him occasionally that he helped put Bill Clinton in the White House. He has since learned his lesson. Today we both vote our preferred candidate in the primary, but we vote party in the general — whoever that may be. An imperfect Republican is still miles better than a Democrat.
